*************************************************************

THE FOLLOWING ARE SUPERSEDED SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS. IF THE
SUPERSEDED
PTF HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED AND ITS SPECIAL INSTRUCTION
FOLLOWED,
IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO FOLLOW THAT SPECIAL INSTRUCTION AGAIN.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUPERSEDED PTF MF14656 :
=================================================
Who should use the procedure
-------------------------------------------------------------
--
Customers that DO NOT need to use this procedure are:
-systems that came pre-loaded with V3R1 or V3R2
-systems that have reloaded V3R1 or V3R2
Customers are urged to use this procedure as soon as possible
to insure the integrity of their data.
This procedure must be used before applying the Licensed
Internal Code extension PTF MF10577. If you already applied
the PTF, you should still use the procedure.
This procedure must be used before a system is migrated from
V3R1 to a RISC release via the replace a release method.
What is the procedure
-------------------------------------------------------------
--
The condition is believed to be rare, however, there is no
way
to look at a system to determine if it has the condition.
PTF
SF38709 contains a command that allows the user to request
a scan of the disk drives be done during the next normal IPL.
This scan procedure will scan the disks looking for
and correcting the condition if it exists.
This procedure only needs to be run once on your system.
The command is SETDSKCLN with options *YES / *NO / *CHECK:
-*YES option indicates on the next normal IPL the
scan should be performed
-*NO option indicates the scan should not be performed
-*CHECK option indicates whether the scan is scheduled
to run or not.
Duration of the procedure
-------------------------------------------------------------
--
The IPL in which the scan is performed will be a long IPL.
The following calculation will help predict the duration
of the IPL:
(Length of a Normal IPL * 2)
+
(Size of the largest drive on the system rounded to the
closet gigabyte (G) * 1 hour to 2 hours) =
Estimated time for the IPL
For example:
Suppose the normal IPL time is 1 hour and the WRKDSKSTS
screen shows the largest drive is 968M. Rounded up to 1G,
and use the information in the formula above as follows:
( 1 hour * 2 ) + ( 1 * 1 hour) to ( 1 * 2 hours )
2 hours + 1 hour to 2 hours =
3 hours to 4 hours
The IPL time is estimated to be 3 to 4 hours. Results may
vary.
Note:
1000 M = 1 G
2000 M = 2 G
4000 M = 4 G
After the procedure
-------------------------------------------------------------
--
The system value QABNORMSW will be set to 1 following the
successful completion of this IPL.
The following VLIC log indicates that the scan ran to
completion.
Major code 1000 Minor code 100C
The following steps are included to help you look for the
VLIC
log.
At a command line:
-STRSST <enter>
-Select option 1 (Start a service tool) <enter>
-Select option 5 (Vertical Licensed Internal Code log)
<enter>
-Select option 1 (Select entries from the Vertical Licensed
Internal Code (VLIC) log) <enter>
-Fill in the Major code field with 1000
-Fill in the Minor code field with 100C <enter>
If the VLIC log appears on the next screen you can use F3 to
exit several times back to the command line.
If the message 'Entry not found.' appears at the bottom of
the
screen, then use the SETDSKCLN command with option *ON and
